Phonics Scavenger Hunt

It's phonics scavenger hunt time! 

Working on your scavenger hunt project?
Having trouble finding some of the items? 

We are here to help! Ask in the IRC for assistance locating any items on your scavenger hunt activity. 

Where is the IRC? 

We are located on the second floor of Ashland University Library. Look for the Phonics Scavenger Hunt sign on the whiteboard outside our door. It's the same image on your Scavenger Hunt Library Guide.

Reserve a Time

Use this site to make your reservation for completing the activity. One person can reserve the time and bring two classmates.  Occupancy inside the IRC is limited to four people; the curriculum work area tables directly outside the IRC are limited to four people.

Phonics Library Guide

There is a library guide for EDEC 140: Phonics & English Language. It features scavenger hunt information, a link for reservations, and a survey to provide feedback.  We are excited to facilitate this activity.  Welcome to the IRC at Ashland University Library.

Are you following the IRC on Twitter? 
You should be! 

In addition to our regular content, including news and updates from the IRC and AU Library blogs, the IRC@aulibrary summer timeline features daily summer photos of the beautiful AU campus.  As to be expected, Friday tweets most often highlight our own AU Library, but the remainder of the week spotlights a different area each week. Until we see everyone again #GoodMorning #AshlandUniversity.

AU Library Active Learning Lab

Ashland University Library’s faculty and staff are excited to announce that construction work has begun on a new active learning lab/classroom! The Bernice Fauber Baker Active Learning Laboratory will have its home on the main floor of the library, with a design and technological features representing an innovative departure from the long rows of desks and desktop computers of the previous library classroom.

AU Library Active Learning Lab:  June 30, 2020

The construction project is funded by a donation from the Bernice Fauber Baker Library Endowment, with a matching gift from the Bob and Jan Archer Challenge Grant. The active learning equipment and furnishings are supported by a grant from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), awarded by the State Library of Ohio.
